Apple Updates RAW Compatibility

Apple just announced a new digital camera RAW compatibility update, making RAW files from the following cameras compatible with Aperture 3 and iPhoto ’09:

Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D / Kiss X4

Leica S2

Olympus E-450

Olympus E-600

Olympus E-620

Sony Alpha DSLR-A230

Sony Alpha DSLR-A330

Sony Alpha DSLR-A380

Sony Alpha DSLR-A450

The update also addresses RAW processing issues for the following cameras:

Canon EOS 30D

Pentax K-x

Pentax K-7

There’s another angle to the good news here – the fact that Apple updated RAW compatibility so quickly for the newly-released and widely-acclaimed Canon Rebel T2i. It’s been a common complaint that Apple is slow to add RAW compatibility for new digital cameras, so it’s nice to see them getting on the ball.
